Good to know. Thanks John and thanks again to the team.
Hi Jeff
Thanks for your input. That is pretty much what my response would have been.
Hi Anthony
Good to see you have found a workaround and that you appreciate everyone's help (albeit except mine.....😢).
As regular contributors on this forum we do get a little frustrated when requests for information are not forthcoming and it happens more than you might think. There were several requests including in your post last December asking for the exact version number as in help>about that seemed to be being ignored.
Your problem with the exporting is not one I have seen before and as such is a little intriguing, but to my mind it is probably due to a codec issue in the imported file or just a mismatch of software and operating system and available codecs within.
I still have MEP16 on my old Windows Vista PC and have tried a couple of exports with various files with different codecs to different formats and codecs but all proceed correctly although I have to say that MEP16 back in 2009 was struggling with HD H.264 MP4 files as they were quite "cutting edge" back then.
BTW - The MEP2016 Help files specify that for QT .mov exports you must have Quicktime Library installed. A file I exported to a Quicktime .mov showed in Media Info that it was using a Quicktime 5 codec from 2005. Anyway as far as I can tell you are not exporting to a Quicktime format even though your recorded files appear to be using a QT codec.

Hi
. . . . your recorded files appear to be using a QT codec . . . .
I have just checked through the entire topic and I cannot see any mention of what the source of the QT encoded videos files to be merged is - we also did not ask 🙁 !

Anthony stated that he captured the files( with the QT codec ID ) via a USB capture device from a DVD player. It would be good to know the model of that capture device then we could look up the spec.
I am trying to figure out why the codec ID of your files says "qt" = Quicktime and whether you are deliberately capturing or exporting to a Quicktime codec as personally I would avoid anything to do with QT (Apple) due to problems in recent years with Apple and licensing their codecs to Windows users.
I probably should have put a question mark or two in there when I wrote that.

Hi Peter
. . . . via a USB capture device from a DVD player . . . .
I agree, however MEP 16 only supports recording as MXV, MPG and MPEG2, hence my, possibly too short, comment 'what the source of the QT encoded videos files to be merged is'
. . . .It would be good to know the model of that capture device . . .
To expand on your question - @Anthony-Kittrell - were the video files recorded using MEP 16 then exported individually as Quicktime video files for combining later, or was another program used - if so which, and what was the USB device make and model or colour if no model markings?
